Prescription Refills

All prescriptions and authorizations for renewals should be requested during normal office hours, when medical records are available. Prescriptions will not be phoned in after office hours or on weekends except for emergencies. Please advise us if this prescription is for a mail-in program.

To refill a prescription, please contact the office at (207) 885-8400. Please provide our office with the following information:

• Your name
• Your date of birth
• The name of your medication
• Dosage instructions
• The pharmacy where you purchase your prescriptions
• The pharmacy phone number
• Whether you want a 30-day or 90-day supply
• Specify if you need brand name only

Reminders:

• Do not wait until you are out of medication to request a refill. Keep in mind that many pharmacies do not routinely carry all prescription drugs. Therefore, try to call for a refill a few days prior to taking your last dose to give the pharmacy a chance to order your drug.
• Ask for prescription refills during your office visit.
• Prescription refills will be processed only for ESTABLISHED PATIENTS who have been seen within the past 12 months. (One additional month of refill birth control pills can be called in for established patients. This will allow time to schedule an annual visit).
• Your chart will be reviewed by your physician and the refill will be called in directly to your pharmacy, within 24 hours of receipt, or the next business day. If your physician feels an office visit is necessary before a refill can be given, you will be notified by phone.
• For each office visit, please bring a list of all the medications and supplements you are taking, including those prescribed by other providers.
• Double-check that the prescription you get at the pharmacy is correct. Check the medication name, dosage and instructions.
• When filling a new prescription, ask your pharmacist about potential side effects and how to take the medicine.
